Chapter 2
"So let me get this straight, your quirk hating parents just found out you enrolled into quirk school and are going to try to pull you out?" Gale asks as he sits around Ernis' impromptu kitchen.
"Yeah." She says quietly as she looks down at her lap.
"Why don't you just tell them off?" Hansen asks as he leans against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Or you could ask nicely if you could stay." Tor offers in between bites of hamburger.
"Thank you for not speaking with a full mouth Tor," Ernes says as he pats Tor on the shoulder.
"Thank you best friend." Tor replies.
"Guys I don't think that will work, my parents are really mean." Briny says holding back more tears.
"Briny what was your plan, you must have known this would happen eventually?" Guy asks quizzically.
"I had hoped that by the time they found out, I would be a… hero." Briny says slowly. Upon hearing that everyone in the room groans.
"Why! Why do you think you could disappear for four years unnoticed?!" Guys half asks half yells.
"Yes…" Briny says causing everyone to groan again.
"Ok so it sounds like we need to find a way to either convince you quirk hating parents to let you stay in a school that teaches Super Heroes," Guy says putting air quotes around teaches before continuing "or we need a legal loophole to get guardianship away from them."
"Or, and hear me out on this, we break their legs." Hansen offers with a wave of his hand. For a moment everyone is silent, as if considering the option, before Briny speaks up.
"No we can't hurt them!" Briny yells in a high pitched voice causing everyone to cover their recovering from the sudden ear trauma, Hansen pushes himself off the wall and silently walks out leaving the rest of the room in silence.
"What's his problem?" Gale asks with a huff.
"I don't know but he did seem off," Guy says before returning to the topic at hand, "but we need to focus on how to get Briny to stay in school."
While the others were focusing on trying to keep Briny in school Hansen was storming down the hallway, flames licking the air around him and smoke billowing from his cloths. Every step he took left a flaming ring and a scorched foot print with every step. Students around him, even upper years, made way for the fiery teen. The young pyromaniac could only see red as he subconsciously makes his way to the gym passing by Ms. Springfield on his way.
"Wow hot head where are you going?" She asked putting her arm out to stop Hansen.
"To blow off some steam." He growls out.
"Well I hope you don't mind me tagging along, after all I wouldn't be doing my teacherly duty if I just let an upset student go off alone, especially if he is likely to burn the school down." She says as she begins to follow the young man.
"I'm not going to burn the stupid school down… Right now." He growls out again as he stands in front of a set of metal training dummies. Typing into a nearby console a hard light projection buzzed into life over the dummies taking the form of a coupe of typical thugs. Pulling out his Claymore Hansen begins to swipe and hack at the half holograms half robot training dummies.
"Wow kid you're more pissed than the time I ripped you wings off." Ms. Springfield says as she watches from the sidelines.
"And?" Hansen asks as he slows down in the middle of a flurry of swipes.
"You want to talk about it?" She asks dryly. Hansen stops his fighting for a moment considering the question before his hellscape cuts off completely. Hanging his head the young teen turns towards his teacher and silently mutters so that only she can hear them. For a second Ms. Springfield thought she had misheard the young man but when he did not correct what had been said she simply grew sollem.
"Maybe we should talk in my office." The over enthusiastic ex hero says with a sullen voice to match her face. Walking to her office, Ms. Springfield ushers Hansen in before quickly closing the door.
After what became a three hour talk with Ms. Springfield Hansen walks away from her office slightly less confused on what to do. Sending a quick text to Briny Hansen males his way to the top of the mountain and waits for the water shooting teen to show up. After ten minutes of waiting he starts to pace back and forth worried that she won't show up.
"Why are you so worried idiot, why do you even give a damn, she is just a girl that you have know for a month. Only a month." Hansen says to himself as he paces back and forth.
'Because you care, Hansen.' A voice whispers in his mind.
"I do not care!" Hansen shouts to the sky.
"You don't care about what?" A distinct voice asks from behind him. Turning around Hansen Sees Briny walking through the mountain top cave exit.
"What nothing!" Hansen shouts quickly before shaking his head to clear his thoughts.'
"So what did you want to talk about?" Briny asks while wringing her hands behind her back.
"Briny I'm going to ask you a personal question and I need an honest answer okay?" Hansen asks seriously. Giving a nod Briny wait's for Hansen to ask his question.
"Briny… do your parents… are they abusing you?" Hansen asks. For a second all the breath is knock from the blue haired girl. The color drains from her face before she starts to tremble, trying to form an answer.
